„Juan Valdez's most recent travels have been in conjunction with promoting Café de Colombia's latest sports sponsorships, where his presence always draws a crowd and enhances media coverage. Juan was a prominent figure at the 1995 US Open, where he became a true tennis connoisseur watching some of the year's most exciting matches; in March, 1996 he actually fitted on some skis at the Café de Colombia Alpine Ski World Cup Finals in Lillehammer, Norway; in August, 1996 he headed to Montreal and Toronto for Canada's international women's and men's tennis championships, where he supplied the spectators with free 100% Colombian Coffee throughout the tournament. ( Once back from the trip, we had trouble getting him to revert back to "Buenos Días" after having said "Bonjour" for the better part of his stay there.) For more information see Café de Colombia's Sports Sponsorships Why is Juan Valdez so known? Show up anywhere with him and the majority of the people are bound to point, yell out a greeting or come up and ask for his autograph.“

„Like Yemen Mocha, Harrar is a "handmade" coffee, processed carefully by the traditional dry method. It is grown on such a small scale and by such simple methods that it is almost certainly free of chemicals, and like Yemen Mocha a good choice for those who wish a traditional organically grown coffee.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Essentially, partial fruit removal and drying the beans in often moisture-interrupted stages together create a complex of flavor taints that regularly include fermented fruit and musty or mildewed notes. These notes, which would be considered flavor defects in coffee origins known for their taint-free, transparent cup, can be a virtue in Sumatras when the musty ferment is sweet rather than bitter or harsh, and when it does not overwhelm other aspects of the cup. This set of unorthodox fruit removal and drying practices also mute acidity and increase body, and give the unroasted Sumatra beans their characteristic very deep green or darkly tawny color.“

„Until 1989, the International Coffee Agreement (ICA) helped stabilize prices by regulating world supply. The US worked to abolish the ICA in 1989 in favor of a "free market" in the coffee trade. Many countries have since then worked to expand their coffee exports to generate foreign revenues to help finance debt. The result is a worldwide coffee surplus that has led to a crash in market prices and huge profit growth for coffee companies at the expense of farmers around the world.“

Frequent buyers clubs give out a free coin with, for instance, every 10 drinks purchased.

„Many organically grown coffees come from farms which have been recentlyconverted into organic farms. Well, a farm which has been submitted to pesticides andherbicides or other decades-long chemical treatments, will not suddenly become a clean,pesticide-free coffee farm, at least not in our life time. Farm certification programs todetermine "Organic" are based on laboratory tests paid by the companiesinterested in obtaining certification.

„However, in the process of its removal, coffee beans are subjected to considerable abuse, including (depending on the process) prolonged steaming and exposure to solvent or soaking in hot water and/or liquid CO2. Consequently, most caffeine-free coffees are difficult to roast, which I find is usually the problem with disappointing decaffeinated coffees rather than the impact of the decaffeination itself.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Two things can go wrong with strip-picked, dry-processed coffee: First, some of the coffee fruit ferments and/or develops molds as it dries, imparting one of several variations of hard, harsh tastes. Secondly, otherwise defect-free coffee can develop tart, astringent tones deriving, I'm told, from too many unripe cherries in the mix of drying fruit. In the first case (ferment/mold) we're talking defect; in the second (astringency from unripe cherries) weakness rather than defect.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Decaffeinated beans are notoriously difficult to roast, so even the best decaffeinated beans may produce a thin-bodied, half-burned cup once they are roasted. Still, for the coffee devotee even listless decaffeinated coffee is better than mint tea, and you can always compromise and spruce up a caffeine-free coffee by adding a little full-bodied caffeinated coffee before grinding it, or by creating your own low-caffeine blend.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Another reason to blend is to cut caffeine content. If you drink only decaffeinated coffee, you may get bored, since specialty shops carry a limited number of caffeine-free coffees. An excellent compromise is to blend a caffeine-free coffee with your favorite single-origin coffees, thus cutting your caffeine intake while fulfilling your sense of coffee adventure.“

„The development of a taste for coffee was, perhaps, a reflection of the democratic society that was being forged.

Coffee and Dieting (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„The low-fat/high-carb diet includes the Pritkin Diet, Dean Orish's diet, and countless others. Because coffee is fat-free, this diet is the most coffee friendly. However one of the reasons fat-free diets sometimes fail is the belief that removing the fat makes one immune to excess calories. A mocha made with fat-free milk may be without fat, but it is loaded with sugars and is calorically dense.“

About Coffee (#)

„The coffee plant prefers the cool, moist, frost-free climate found at higher altitudes in the tropics and subtropics. Optimum growing conditions include: a temperature of about 75ºF (24ºC); well-distributed annual rainfall of about 50 in (127 cm) with a short dry season; and fertile, deep, well-drained soil, especially of volcanic origin. While coffee can be grown from sea level to c.6,000 ft (1,830 m), and C.“
